Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

[vincentw56]

A single bug fix that introduces two new bugs.

At least they're really quick to fixing them.

To go full screen, Uconnect will likely go entirely Google based mapping/ Navigation and make us subscribe. My opinion.

No subscription in bmw....

And they do it for carplay so not a TomTom contract restriction.

Just keep blasting them with the request in twitter/x

They are killing the Hemi. You think they care if people complain about AA not working properly?
Cars/trucks are not modern gaming, if it doesn't work when you get it, don't expect it ever will.

Only for you Ram guys and a few other select vehicles it seems. They stopped giving the Durango people updates the same year they gave us Uconnect 5 (2021).

Sorry, my comment was sarcasm. I didn't think I needed to tag it as such.

That’s my bad, I’m so bitter over this Uconnect nonsense that I don’t always take a deep breath before assuming and posting.

Yeah, that's why I went with an aftermarket Android screen. Still has a few quirks, but full screen Android Auto.

I emailed the email addresses on that page, I encourage others to do the same!

So I saw in a recent coming soon propaganda video from ram, one of the 2025 trucks is getting a newer available 14" display. I'd assume that thing will have full screen Android auto, if not it'll be tremendously embarrassing for ram and uconnect.

The question is will that just be a new display running a new version of UC5 on the existing module with an adjusted resolution output. Or will they debut a new uconnect 6 on a new module and force us to upgrade if we want full screen AA.

If it's using an existing UC5 module with tweaked resolution output, I suspect we'll eventually see that update trickle down, if not, we're probably SOL.

With the amount of minimum effort Ram is putting in I would guess it doesn't have fullsreen AA anyways.

How lame, even Subaru, who has sucked with tech, is rolling out an update that looks like full screen AA for my FILs 2020 Outback

My 2024 Crosstrek has full screen AA.

It's ultra clear Ram is not adding this.
If you really want it then just buy one of those 3
$30-40 carplay adaptors and connect with wireless AA to it.
Or are you just renewing the fact Ram doesn't update functionality to their vehicles post launch? Your 2019 has UC4, not even my 22 with UC5 has it and as far as I know they have no reason to add anything to UC4 so your chances are even worse than mine.

That's not full screen - it's about half screen like RAM except the map is more in the center with info above and audio, paging, and climate controls below. That's essentially the home screen for my setup.

Does a wireless dongle make AA full screen?

Oh no, you haven't seen the way it looked before. Much worse than that and the bottom half is even less useful than the UConnect bottom half options. See attached

I'm sorry I didn't see how good or bad it was before. But that does not negate the fact that the image posted shows an AA screen that is not remotely close to full. I would like to see AA & CP full screen on all platforms, even though I don't use them, but please don't toss garbage and expect us to eat it up. It might be an improvement, I'm not sure, but no it's not fullscreen.

If you want to goad others, go chat with @Darksteel165 ....he/she/it has lots to say on something...sometimes it's funny...

full screen would be amazing BUT when the split screen setup (Coolwalk as they call it) of Android remains 1 bigger part at the left and 1 smaller part at the right, it is still worthless.
It would be nice if you could have e.g Waze on the top part and another app on the bottom part and not side2side.
